The Colorado AI Act was the country’s most ambitious effort to regulate algorithmic decision-making. This week it became nothing more than a notification requirement.
A development that seems increasingly visible across advanced technology sectors is that governments may end up shaping deployment less through broad ideological regulation and more through procurement admissibility and infrastructure rules.
For roughly thirty years, globalization optimized around lowest-cost integration and process efficiency. But some of the newer FY2027 NDAA-related restrictions around drone batteries and Chinese-linked components suggest a different logic may now be emerging in strategic sectors.
Participation increasingly appears to depend not just on technical capability or price, but on traceability, alliance alignment, sourcing legitimacy, and survivable infrastructure integration.
What’s interesting is that these pressures often first become visible in relatively small strategic niches — like drones — where governments can override pure price competition more easily before similar standards spread outward into larger industrial systems.
For me, it feels less like traditional “regulation” and more like the gradual construction of technologically admissible ecosystems.
